SECOND GRAND CONCERT.

Lovers of music who last night attended
the grand concert given by the College of
Music of Garfield University at Crawford 5
opera house listened to some of the
sweetest strains that was ever
heard in that house And what added to
the music if such rare entertainment can
be improved upon was the natural, easy,
elegant address of the performers
The program as advertised was carried
out in full, opening with selection from
Grieg, sonata for piano and violin, by Mr..
John W. Metcalf and Miss Blanche New
comb.
The second number 'Sancta Maria" by
Miss Alice Hutchins, with violin, piano
and organ obligato by Miss Newcomb
NJ. Metcalf and Miss Mosceline Baldwin
was almost faultlessly rendered. Miss
Hutchins voice showed in this as well As
in No. 5is"Grand Scene and Aria from the
Third Act of Der Freischutz," TO be sweet,
pure and highly cultivated.
The third selection was a violin solo by
Miss Newcomb: and if there be a master
here of that musical instrument, it must
be Miss Blanche Newcomb. She is pos
sessed of great talent. and is herself val
utDlt acquisition W tiS iiiStAt'tttpi NhANAi
she represents.
The encore following Miss Hutch
ms singing of the fifth num-
Der we'll repaid the audience, for
they were given the ever welcome Annie
Laurie in q sweeter strain, however, than
it is usually heard
In "Habanera,' from the Spanish
dancers, Miss Newcomb gained every ear
1t was a memory sketch and into it she APP
peared to throw her whole soul and life.
An encore called forth Home, Sweet
Home" which fioated in ecstatic strains
to every ear and heart
THE Fri King, by Mr.. Metcalf, closed
or rather would have closed the entertain
ment if the delighted audience had not
demanded and received as an encore
another selection. Mr.. Metcalf in
this as in his other numbers
showed wonderful ability and skill.
as well as a very marked improvement in
his playing since his last public perform
ance.
The entertainment was throughout a
most successful and satisfactory musical
concert. fully establishing the reputa-
ton of the College of Music of Garfield
university and endeared the performers 70
the hearts of the Wichita music loving
people

the section. The vote was tie, and the
mayor decided in the negative.
The opposers of the ordl-
nance voted against the COM
pany giving the city one per cent
of the entire earnings where the gross re
ceipts exceed 500, 900 annually.
The city attorney, when all sections had
been considered, stated that he did not
want to be understood as saying that the
ordinance did not give additional rights to
the street railway company. 1t would set
tie the right of the company to all streets
outside of those streets excepted. Itwould
be best to have all companies included in
the ordinance to file an acceptance, as 1t
would seem to take the rights of the three
other companies apparently without their
knowledge.
Healy-When we discussed this ordi-
nance Mr. Dyer told me it was a better or
dinance for the city than the old one.
Mr. Brown think sixty days is long
enough for the city to wait on any street
to be given service Believe this will be
given by common consent.
Mr.. Dickson-We will agree to that.
Kenyon believe all companies should
be required to sign their acceptance.
Dickson-The same men are officers for
all companies.
Kenyon-I withdraw my motion.
The vote on the ordinance as whole IS
as follows:
Affirmative-Healy, English, Stone,
Derby, Brown, Simison, johnson.
Negative-Harris, Buckridge, Kenyon.
The above shows johnson in the affirma-
five ,,b;la x-otinO m, SactiODc he voted in
the negative.
The ordinance Of the Wichita & Valley
Center motor line company, for some
weeks pending changing route in the north
part of the city, was passed unanimously
An ordinance was passed consolidating
the old street railway company, West
Douglas avenue company and Garfield
motor line company, provided the three
| file an acceptance.
This finished the report of the railroad
committee, which took three hours and
forty minutes to dispose of by the council
Buckridge moved, with English as sec
ond, that the Wichita street railway com
pany lower their track on Fairview avenue
and put it to the center of the street. The
motion carried and Mr.. Dickson stated
that it would be done.
Gas mains were ordered put down on
on Topeka avenue, from Douglas avenue
to English street.
Mr.. Brown stated that the gains in some
sections interfered with sewer pipes.
| Bills for street force, miscellaneous and
! police were read, amounting to S9,292. 29,
with little less than 5000 in the treasury.
Nearly an hour was spent in trying to pay
